Vampire Bunnies -- what is it with vampire writers in the last however many years deciding that a vampire's fangs are his or her incisors? o_O Whenever I read about a vampire's sharpened incisors extending, or whatever, I have to laugh -- I get this mental image of a psychotic Bugs Bunny or an undead beaver something. Definitely not the image most writers seem to be going for. [snicker]

How to Keep Someone With You Forever -- gakked from nagasvoice, issendai posted this piece on how to keep people from leaving you, whether "you" is an individual in a personal relationship, or a company trying to hold on to its employees. A good subtitle would be "How to Create a Sick System." This is important reading for anyone who might be caught up in a sick system, or who has a loved one who's stuck in a sick system. But it's also fascinating as a writer who might want to put a character into an emotionally poisonous situation some time. This is fascinatingly awful, and the fact that it's real just makes it moreso.
